Brick Pointing

Brick pointing is the process of repairing mortar joints where the mortar has cracked, eroded, or fallen out. We remove the damaged mortar and replace it with new mortar that matches the joint. For chimneys and roof transitions, this keeps water out and helps flashing perform correctly.

Consider it when you see cracked or crumbling mortar joints, spalling brick (flaking or chipping), or water stains around the chimney. If you have chimney leaks that persist after flashing repairs, the masonry may be the cause. An evaluation can confirm whether repointing will fix the issue.

Chimney counterflashing is often embedded in or sealed to the masonry. When mortar fails, water can get behind the flashing and into the roof assembly. Repointing restores the seal so flashing can do its job. We coordinate with roof and flashing work so everything is addressed in one scope when possible.

Yes. We often combine brick pointing with chimney flashing repairs or full roof work. That way you get one contractor, one schedule, and a single scope that addresses both the masonry and the roof transition. We provide a clear estimate for the combined work.
